Also the price for the ETH does not go up... My rig at 188mh/s in june was making almost 1k per month... Now $300... That's crazy!

thats not crazy , every experienced people told you everywhere : - stop believe you'll get profit like june in few month, and wrned you about difficulty and price volatility everyone was dreaming about profit , and more and more miner , affect it to ... mining is :participate to this, project , not believing be millionaire by did it. so much childs dreamer , and result massive miner , and everytime same question and post with crying here, i m bored now about, what is this nice forum before, since all newbies come to ask and ask same things ever

I dont mind losing profit or occurance of difficulty jumps, i just want to know story behind it so i can plan and prepare better. I wonder what caused this huge jump that is different from regular diff increase and how often will it happen or will they fix it (delay ice age).

Also for me. Its a project and fun journey in which i invested money i am able to lose. Just want to learn about it as much possible.

difficulty will rise everytime , to imagine , you can think a day you will mine 0,000000001 / day , on every cryptomoney.but ethereum pos will come about a bit less 1 year, so think all miners will switch to zcash or probably etc to continu dual mining so difficulty will be big to.i remember on ethermine pool , at begin 2017 there was around 6000 miner and today 58421 (worker 170889). and 1 rig with 6 gpu (175mh) gave around 0.6 eth day ... now probably close to 0.04 hopefully price rise , but may be not in future we'll see.

We all understand that but noone rly answers this or post links with information what caused this sudden and huge jump. Its obvious diff rises but not so much in 1 day if its regular difficulty, something else was the cause.

Pretty sure this is why you're seeing the difficulty go up. 747's full of graphics cards to fill chinese mining farms. Big jumps are because a farm just went online. (from my understanding.)I notice all these jumps (such as the big one from 1.0 to 1.2) are all Monday morning China time.

Not much to do except keep going until the difficulty increased so much that the cost of electricity is greater than the yield. The real reason I brought this up (a few times) are the poor suckers that keep building new rigs. It makes ZERO sense! They state that they think the price of ETH will go up. If it does, they will make more money buying it directly.

According to my calculations my dual rigs will only generate 1.3 ETH per month. We need another Zcash! At that time I was peaking 2 ETH/day! and It has gone downhill ever since. Welp, time to sell off my rigs, it was fun while it lasted. Have a great life everyone!

Well...at least there will be a ton of mining rigs/cards for cheap after ETH goes PoS.
